The 130-year-old railway connecting the Apuseni Mountains to the Western Plain is now served by only four daily trains. The line, inaugurated in 1896, features the Gorgana tunnel, a significant landmark. Despite its historical importance, the railway faces declining passenger numbers and neglected stations. The closure of the Deva-Brad line in 1997 further impacted the region's rail network. The Brad station, a key junction, remains closed despite renovations, while the Gorgana tunnel, built between 1894-1895, is noted for its challenging construction. The railway's historical significance is overshadowed by its current state of disrepair and reduced usage.
